LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Brothers and Sisters, December is the time for expressing the hope and strengthening the dreams that will carry us through the next year. Advent is the way we as church express our hopes. Prophetic visions, prayers and songs calling for the Lord to come do help us to hope profoundly. Advent allows us to do what most others do in Decem-ber—but to see in the coming Lord the answer to our dreams. In our Catholic tradition, keeping Advent means singing the songs of expectation, of our hopes and longing, before we enter into the full-throated praise of Christmas carols. Here are a few lines from our tradition on what Advent is about. “Advent has a twofold character: as a season to prepare us for Christmas when Christ’s first coming is remembered; as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and the heart to await Christ’s second coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation.” (General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, #39) Thomas Merton, in his book Seasons of Celebration, reviewed the ways Saint Bernard of Clairvaux ap-proached these comings of Christ. The first advent was Christ’s birth. The other will be at the end of time. Faith in these two stimulates recognition of a third, the advent of Christ in our church now, today. Viewed from this perspective, the Advent liturgy, with its scriptures, prayers and songs, is neither a romantic return to the Old Testament while we wait for the baby at Bethlehem, nor is it an exercise in expressing hope for an ever-receding end of time. The Advent liturgy is neither nostalgic nor illusory. When we take the tradi-tion and enter it fully, we become Advent, the people in and through whom Christ comes. Beginning our new week and this Advent season of Hope in Christ, let us commend to the mercy and love of the Lord, all those who have gone before us in faith. May they be at peace. Always forward, Msgr. Art

DECEMBER 8TH Since this year, December 8th, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Con-ception falls on a Sunday of Advent which takes priority in our liturgi-cal calendar, the celebration of the Solemnity will be moved to Monday, December 9th. However, the obligation to attend Mass is abrogated. In other words, the Solemnity is NOT a ho-ly day of obligation this year. Mass-es will be celebrated at the usual daily times, 7:00 AM in the Serra Chapel and 8:30 AM in the Basilica.

VIII Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano

`Nosotros, la comunidad Católica de la Misión Basílica San Juan Capistrano, un lugar de peregrinación y de paz,

estamos llamados a movernos “siempre adelante”. Bendecidos por nuestra diversidad y

fortalecidos por nuestra identidad sacramental como hermanos y hermanas en Cristo

nos regocijamos en vivir los valores del Evangelio de amor y justicia en nuestro servicio a los demás.

PREGUNTA DE REFLEXION DE LA SEMANA

Declaración de la Parroquia de la Misión

MENSAJE DE LA SEMANA: Hoy iniciamos el NUEVO AÑO LITÚRGICO. Y esto supone algo muy especial para un grupo de creyentes: nos disponemos a vivir, celebrar y alimentarnos -a lo largo de los próximos meses- de esa HISTORIA de AMOR de DIOS, de su “historia de salva-ción” para con nosotros. Esto es lo que la Comunidad Cristiana celebra en la liturgia. ¡Cuántas veces podemos olvidar este punto de partida y… entonces, son aburridas todas nuestras celebracio-nes! ¡Qué pena y qué oportunidad perdida! El primer momento clave de esa historia de Amor de Dios es la presencia de alguien; es el nacimiento de Alguien esperado y deseado; Alguien que dé esperanza a ese hombre en tensión, en búsqueda, deseando encontrar un sentido a su vida, a la historia e, incluso, a la muerte. Por eso, el ADVIENTO es el tiempo de la espera, un tiempo a disponernos a preparar los caminos del Se-ñor: sólo desde esa apertura-disponibilidad será posible Recono-cerle. Así será Navidad: vivir su presencia como salvación. De ahí que la invitación de este primer domingo sea “estad en vela”, porque a mi vida puede llegar en cualquier momento. Es necesario: sólo así tendrá sentido este Adviento, y nuestra fe y esperanza en el “Señor que viene”. Jesús es Nuestra Esperanza. ¡Dichosos nosotros: Todo empieza a ser nuevo!

Primer Domingo de ADVIENTO 1 de Diciembre, Ciclo A

Isaías 2:1-5 Romanos 13:11-14 Mateo 24:37-44

Tema: “Muestranos, Señor, tu misericordia y danos tu salvación”. Adultos: ¿Qué vas a hacer durante el Adviento para traer la luz de Jesucristo a los demás? Adolescentes y Niños: ¿Qué vas a hacer de diferente que los demás vean la luz de Jesús en ti?

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Is 4:2-6; Sal 122 (121):1-9; Mt 8:5-11 Martes: Is 11:1-10; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17; Lc 10:21-24 Miércoles: Is 25:6-10a; Sal 23 (22):1-6; Mt 15:29-37 Jueves: Is 26:1-6; Sal 118 (117):1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a; Mt 7:21, 24-27 Viernes: Is 29:17-24; Sal 27 (26):1, 4, 13-14; Mt 9:27-31 Sábado: Is 30:19-21, 23-26; Sal 147 (146):1-6; Mt 9:35 — 10:1 Domingo: Is 11:1-10; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17; Rom 15:4-9; Mt 3:1-12

Reflexión: ADVIENTO - TIEMPO DE PREPARACIÓN Esta vida es el tiempo de preparación para nuestro estado futuro. Nuestras almas continuarán siendo por siempre lo que hacemos de ellas en este mundo.
